Went with my girlfriend for a week. Nice place, though dominated by kids and young families. Not recommended for couples but seemed nice for families with kids.
First room given wasn't nice and had cockroaches, but second room was ace and beautiful.
Hotel staff at the front desk are great. But service in the restaurants (especially the beach-side restaurant) is really bad. Takes a long time to get service and orders were forgotten a few times we were there. Food is also hit and miss. There are better restaurants in walking distance. Just Google and you'll find them. The breakfast at the restaurant was good though.
Yoga with Karsten is great. He is terrific! Though don't expect to work up a sweat. Horse riding was surprisingly fun.
The Spa is rubbish. We bought a 5 day spa package (don't do that) and regret it. During one of our quiet couple massages, the masseuses constantly chatted to each other - very distracting. For one of the hamman sessions, we were moved from place to place a few times due to coordination errors.
WiFi is also very bad and often not working. But that wasn't such a bad thing for a relaxing holiday.response / report this review -

We had an amazing time at Paradis Plage. We took a direct flight from London to Agadir, it was easy to get there. The Surf & Yoga concept was the perfect combo to cut off from the London Rat Race. The staff has been so kind to us! We recommend Paradis Plage for those who need to switch off and enjoy the beauty of Morocco. And we will come back for sure!
Thanks again!

I am worldwide traveler from USA/ NYC. My stay was Oct 1-15 and I had the Surf, Yoga and Spa package with half-board.
Excellent service, food and accommodation. Special recognition to Karsten (Yoga), Khalid/team (Surf) and Imad (Dinner service). Room spacious, clean, comfortable with full kitchen and 2 balconies. Grounds well-cared for and provided a very intimate, Moroccon feel. Food was superb all-around. Karsten was an excellent yoga instructor; patient, kind, inspiring and fun. Khalid was very cool in his approach to guiding with the surf; conditions were not great but was accommodating in our drives along the coast to find waves. Imad provided exceptional service even in very busy conditions; calling me by name, remembering my usual choices and recommending new ones. And the spa provided for a nice, relaxing experience (except do NOT do the Hammam if you are at all sunburnt).
Few callouts; Not a hotel thing, necessarily, but must have tolerance to flies, as they are ubiquitous. Wi-Fi speeds were poor and experienced intermittent outages of internet. Food & Bev and other services were over-priced, for a Moroccon, 5-star, e.g. 700 for a Corona. Surf equipment was good; but could use an upgrade, particularly the van. There was a minor ant issue in my room that persisted. There were multiple instances of a putred odor through the pool area in the afternoon; something with the fishing/ garbage maintenance next door to the hotel. Lastly, I was not picked-up at the airport upon arrival, as scheduled, and resorted to taking a taxi (I was reimbursed by the hotel). There is not very much at all around the resort; the only thing I was aware of was a very good restaurant within walking distance called Quartier D Ete. Lastly, rather than purchasing a package, consider purchasing 1 by 1. I don't believe there is any $$ advantage and in the end\ you may not get to use all the pre-paid sessions (for me, the surf was poor and didnt use all of my guiding sessions + yoga every single day turned out to be too much for me).

My husband and I went here for our honeymoon! Staff was so friendly and welcoming--they remembered who we were all week, and they even moved us up to our own private bungalow. Yoga is available 3 times a day, and is in a beautiful shala facing the ocean. The surfing guides are incredibly nice and you can surf right in front of the resort. 5/5 would recommend!

A staying at Paradis Plage may easily be one of your best holidays. So many little details will make you feel cocooned and loved, in a dreamy environment.
We landed in Agadir airport in the evening. The taxi driver was there to wait for us even though we got out of the airport one hour later than expected (the joys of passport control). At the hotel we found pool, beach, a few good restaurant and bars with lovely view - and different menus, gym, spa, yoga classes. I'm not into surf but I can assure you there isn't lack of waves.
We treated ourselves with one spa treatment and one yoga class every day. The spa is quiet, with massage rooms, two hammams, one room for tea, dim colored lights, workers that speak softly - it all adds up to the incredibly relaxing atmosphere.
The yoga classes are three times a day in a hut which is all glasses, overlooking the trees and the sea. Once a week there is an evening class, at the sunset. The teacher, Mara, was kind, gentle and introduced new exercises in every class, making yoga our favorite event of the day.
The staff at bars and restaurants is incredible. Everyone is kind, helpful, and speaks English. I would occasionally try out my rusted French, and the poor victim would listen patiently, and reply in French. Not once I felt like they were pushing me to switch back to English, which would have been reasonable given my poor level. Then I caught a bad cold, and one staff member noticed I could use a little help. He gave me this fantastic ginger & honey mix that I kept on ordering - it really helped!
One final note on tips. Depending on your culture, you may or may not be at ease with tipping. I find it cumbersome to have to think how much is expected for every single service. Paradise Plage's philosophy is simple - once you get at the resort, you can stop thinking about money. Every drink at the bar, meal at the restaurant, package at the spa or yoga or surf, is just a signature. No extra line for tips. For those who want to tip - and we surely wanted - the method is simple and painless. At checkout, just leave cash inside an envelope (the reception provides the envelope). The money goes to HR, which divides all tips in equal parts for the workers - not the managers - and adds it to the paychecks at the end of the month. Simple, elegant, painless. Call me European, but I loved it. If you don't know how much to tip, Google is your friend. If you are still lost and just looking for a number, you could try 10% of your total check - excluding the cost of the room.
Overall, I can only recommend Paradis Plage to anyone who wants a break from "real life" - to be immersed in a caring environment, do sports, read a book, get a suntan, and just relax. One thing you may want to consider is to check in advance how busy it is on the week when you are planning to go. We choose a random week in May and it was not busy at all, which made the whole experience very pleasant.response / report this review -

Great place! Comfortable and relaxing room, all with sea view. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Very professional surf and yoga classes as well as a great spa with several options. The resort offers good combination packages and airport pick up. Good food with various options of local and international food as well as good variety of local wine.

Pleasant laid-back resort with good quality buffet and a nice (private?) beach directly in front. Loses a star for a niggle: charging for water at dinner despite the already steep charge!
